- Another excellent set of routines are the LZRW family, developed by Ross
- Williams in Australia. There are several, some of which are optimized for
- speed, and some for compression. All the ones I've used take blocks of
- input and produce blocks out output, so you can compress/decompress in a
- fixed amount of memory. Source is available in very portable C, and in
- optimized 68000 assembly in some cases. See the comp.compression FAQ for
- details. I highly recommend the routines.
